The draft document for version 3.0 of the policy proposal 2014-04, "Removing IPv6 Requirement for Receiving Space from the Final /8", has now been published, along with an impact analysis conducted by the RIPE NCC. [..] We encourage you to read the draft document and send any comments to address-policy-wg@ripe.net before 7 January 2015.
The review phase for 2014-04 has ended. Given the amount of support over the lifetime of this proposal, and the nature of the opposition, I have decided that we have reached rough consensus (Sander as co-chair has abstained, because he has officially taken an opionion). The main counterargument brought up was that this would lower the incentive for LIRs to adopt IPv6 and would create the impression that IPv6 is no longer important to the RIPE community. To counter that, the chairs will ask the RIPE NCC to continue their good work in raising IPv6 awareness and to continue to mention it on IPv4 /22 requests. So, I consider the counterarguments addressed, and see enough support to declare rough consensus and move the proposal forward. This is what I'll do now -> move 2014-04 to Last Call. Marco will send the formal announcement for that later today or tomorrow. For reference, a list of people that voiced support or opposition (or something else) in the previous review phase is appended below. This is what I have based my decision on. If you disagree with my interpretation of what has been said and the conclusion I have drawn from it, please let us know.
